Up to the hairline, in both cases. As for why now? It was going to be a useful thing for the Big Three to be able to meet in an allied country close to the Soviet Union so that Uncle Joe’s paranoia didn’t get too overwhelming.

I thought Uncle Joe’s paranoia vanished after he completed the The bloc of rights and Trotskyities focus.
